This Christmas Welsh choral icons Treorchy Male Choir will be bringing that festive feeling to Swansea’s Brangwyn Hall in aid of Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice and tickets are on sale now.
Established in 1883, Treorchy Male Choir has given Royal Command Performances and has undertaken dozens of national and international tours.
Now you can enjoy either an afternoon or an evening – or both if you’re really keen – of classic Christmas songs sung by Treorchy’s musical maestros on Sunday December 7th with all proceeds going to Tŷ Hafan. Both the matinee and evening performances are sponsored by Euro Commercials.
Hosted by broadcaster Sian Lloyd these two family-friendly festive specials will also feature performances from special guests as well as moving testimonies from two Tŷ Hafan families – Cerys and Andrew Humphreys from Aberystwyth and Natalie and Matt Ridler from Swansea.
Andrew and Cerys’ daughter Nel, two, was born with the rare condition Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome which can delay growth and development and cause frequent seizures. Nel and big sister Maisie, 11, are supported by Tŷ Hafan, as as mum and dad too. Andrew and Cerys will be talking about how Tŷ Hafan is helping them and their daughters during the matinee show.
Natalie and Matt’s son Morgan was diagnosed at two with a rare cancer and fought for two years before passing at Tŷ Hafan on 28 June 2023, just a few days before his fourth birthday. Natalie, Matt and Morgan’s little sister Rhiannon, four, continue to be supported by Tŷ Hafan. Natalie and Matt will be sharing their experiences on stage during the evening performance.
James Davies-Hale, Head of Fundraising for Tŷ Hafan, said: “Your support transforms lives. Right now, only 1 in 10 families in Wales who need Tŷ Hafan’s help are getting the support they need through their child’s life, death and beyond.
“With every ticket bought for our Christmas concerts, you’re creating a Wales where no family has to live their child’s short life alone.”
Tŷ Hafan Christmas Concert matinee performance will start at 2:30pm and the evening show at 7:30pm. Tickets are from £22.50 to £30 per person with concessions of £27.50 – for wheelchair user and one companion, £17.50 for students, and £15.00 for the under 16s.
